This was an interesting, sweet and sexy romance. It started off simplistic and funny, but it soon became so much more. I loved the relationship between Alex and Seething Destroyer of the Soul, aka Seth, and I enjoyed all the discoveries they made together. This was a great story, and it made me excited to read the rest of this quirky series.
A really quirky, light-hearted demon/human romance & I enjoyed reading it. The plot is entertaining with some unusual events with good scene descriptions & world building. The two main characters (Alex & Seth) are likable with some emotional vulnerability although I will admit that I was not too impressed with Alex’s father (Gerald, who happens to be a sorcerer) & his attitude but he does redeem himself.

I received an advanced reader’s copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review and recommendation.
This was a very quirky and fun way to pass a couple of hours. When the story started out, I wasn’t quite sure what I had gotten myself into, but as I continued to read, I was quickly drawn into this strange little book.
Alex is a seemingly accident prone freshman college. When he accidentally summons Seething Destroyer of Souls, better known as Seth, the big red horned demon, he doesn’t seem concerned because strange things happen around him all the time.
Seth, who has left something important behind in the Shadowlands, impatiently demands that Alex either order him to do something or send him back. But Alex is stubborn, and he refuses to be pushed around. When Alex tries to leave for school, the demon demands that he must go along. So Alex decides to stay home. However, Alex’s father shows up unexpectedly and somehow knows about Seth’s presence.
Alex’s father has been keeping secrets of his own. He demands that Alex send Seth home, but when he refuses, his father grounds Seth to the house. Eventually, Seth makes him an offer he doesn’t want to refuse. Things get sexy, and then even more strange, feelings start to get involved.
When Alex gets whisked away, Seth is left with no choice but to summon another demon for help. However, Alex starts a journey of self-discovery when he inadvertently rescues his father. After finding out that he did not summon Seth in the usual manner, Alex and Seth decide to bond their lives together.
Eventually, Alex learns the story of his past, and why he is in danger. Seth vows to protect him, but when he puts his life in danger, Alex accidentally sends them to another plane of existence. There, he continues to learn and grow in his new found life, and also makes a new friend.
When they return home, he no longer has to live in fear or ignorance. He has the love of his father, his familiar, and his mate, which leads him to the happily ever after he never expected.
Happy reading!
* I received an ARC of this book and I am leaving my honest review. *
I received this book as an ARC and this is my honest opinion.
The story is great and have a lot of funny moments, some action magic powers and hot scenes. The mate love between Alex and his mate Seth (a demon) is surprisingly sweet given the plot. Once I started the book I couldn’t put it down until finish. Easy to read, low angst and witty, in summary an enjoyable reading.
